Tallon Griekspoor overcame qualifier Kamil Majchrzak 7-5, 7-6(3) on Saturday at the Grand Prix Hassan II in Marrakech to reach his maiden tour-level championship match on clay.
The top seed Griekspoor rallied from 3-5 in the first set to take control of the semi-final clash. He saved the only three break points of the second set, according to Infosys ATP Stats, before completing his one-hour, 48-minute triumph in a tie-break.
With his victory, Griekspoor reached his fourth ATP Tour final. He has won two titles, both in 2023: one on hard courts in Pune and one on grass in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. He is the seventh Dutchman to reach tour-level finals on all three surfaces in the Open Era.
“I’m very happy with the win. Obviously, it’s aways nice to qualify for a final, it doesn’t happen every week,” said Griekspoor. “I’m happy with the performance today, it was a very tough match. I was a break down in the first set, saved a couple of break points deep in the second. I’m very pleased with the way I played and the win today.”
